2024 Ladies Retreat

Reflections from the April 12-14, 2024 Florida Ladies Retreat: ABIDE to ARISE to ASCEND (Psalm 24:6)

"This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob." — Psalm 24:6

The Florida Ladies Retreat on April 12-14, 2024, was a weekend filled with renewal, transformation, and a call to seek God wholeheartedly. Building upon the themes of previous years, this retreat took us deeper with “ABIDE to ARISE to ASCEND,” a powerful journey from abiding in Christ to rising in His calling and ascending into His presence with purpose and boldness.

Inspirational Messages from Anointed Speakers

The retreat was blessed with powerful messages from Olya Yarosh and Taniya Pekun, whose Spirit-led teaching guided us to understand the process of abiding in Christ, arising to His calling, and ascending into a deeper relationship with Him. They encouraged us to seek His presence with passion, reminding us that true strength and purpose come from being in His presence and walking in His ways.

Workshops That Equipped and Empowered

This year’s retreat also featured engaging workshops led by gifted women of faith:

Olya Bondarenko inspired us to live intentionally as women of God.

Lyubov Pushkash encouraged us with practical tools to balance priorities as women who serve both in ministry and at home.

Valentina Ablaev shared wisdom on walking in obedience and boldness in every season of life.

Olha Varivoda led us in a time of reflection and spiritual growth, focusing on seeking God’s presence.

Each workshop provided practical insights, biblical truths, and heartfelt encouragement, equipping every woman to step confidently into her God-given purpose.

Worship That Lifted Us Higher

The worship, led by the incredible team from Jacksonville, FL, created a heavenly atmosphere where hearts were softened and lives were transformed. As we lifted our voices in unity, we experienced the beauty of ascending into His presence, laying down our burdens, and receiving His peace and joy.

Fellowship That Strengthened Bonds

The retreat wasn’t just about sessions and workshops—it was a time to build meaningful connections with other women who are on the same journey of faith. Through prayer, shared stories, and heartfelt conversations, new friendships were formed, and existing ones were deepened. The moments of laughter, reflection, and encouragement reminded us of the power of community in Christ.

Ascending to Greater Heights

As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness and the power of seeking Him with all our hearts. The call to abide, arise, and ascend is a lifelong journey, and we are grateful for the ways this retreat helped us take another step closer to Him.

To every speaker, workshop leader, worship team member, and attendee: thank you for being a part of this special gathering. May the truths we learned and the commitments we made continue to shape our lives as we seek His face and ascend into His purpose for us.

Let’s continue to ABIDE, ARISE, and ASCEND together as a generation that seeks Him!
